Silver-haired Bat

A single female, which contained two embryos that measured 4, represents

the only record of a silver-haired bat from Harding County. This

specimen was shot at dusk on June 1, 1968, as it foraged over a small

pond in Deer Draw of the Slim Buttes (10 mi. S and 5 mi. W Reva).

Several other bats believed to be of this species were seen at the same

place that evening. We initially assumed that these were late migrants,

but recent findings indicate that this species is a common summer

inhabitant of the Long Pine Hills in adjacent Carter County, Montana,

and likely, therefore, also a resident in favored sites in Harding

County.
